Posted:17th Dec 2004MS has always had a bad habit of bringing a product to market too soon, XP and IE6 were good examples of that, buggy products in general. They're getting better, but this time it really was too little too late.

Have you tried an install of "longhorn" or "XP64bit" yet....

Posted:18th Dec 2004oi, my room mate is working on longhorn stuff. It's still got a ways to go methinks. As far as XP, I don't think I'll ever be running XP of any kind, someone said somewhere it was the best way to make a pentium run like a 486, that sounds about right. The only beta I've been playing w recently is Visual Studio 2005, the next version of .NET. I forget the code name, you wouldn't believe how many different code names they have here, Polar Bear, Glacier, Whistler, Longhorn, etc etc It's too hard to keep up!

As far as malware/adware blockers, so far I'm really impressed with Webroot's stuff.

Posted:18th Dec 2004i built a 64 bit xp system last week!.... non of the drivers that came with the 64bit Mainboard were for 64bit... only 32!... non of the drives after 2 hours searching the net worked either!... how can they sell [censored] like that from shops?.

Longhorns nice, i like it... too many bugs just now.. not some thing for the kids to mess with! neither would 64xp if you actually got it to work.

Posted:11th Jan 2005Ok bringing this thread backThe website has been updated. We decided to keep the flash because doing an HTML version would require building the entire site twice. Sorry to all who don't use flash. Adobe and Cirque du soleil agree with me.

Some of the pictures need to be resized but there are some fun pictures in the gallery now including my fire contact juggling ball that I have not shown the HOP community yet.

Please keep your posts to the content of the site because the technical aspect has been argued here to death.
